RAISING THE MINIMUM WAGE: WHO DOES IT BENEFIT??

OF COURSE YOU GOOD LIBERALS AND COMPASSIONATE
FOLK WOULD SAY, THE WORKERS......BUT IS IT TRUE??
RAISING THE MINIMUM WAGE WOULD RAISE THE COST
OF DOING BUSINESS. (AS WELL AS GOODS AND SERVICES)
THAT MEANS THAT A BOSS HAS TO RAISE PRICES OR LAY
OFF WORKERS TO STAY IN BUSINESS.....IF THE BOSS RAISES
PRICES, HE/SHE COULD LOSE CUSTOMERS.....IF WORKERS
ARE LAID OFF, THOSE WORKERS WHO THOUGHT THAT
THEY WOULD GET A RAISE SIMPLY FOR SHOWING UP WILL
NOW HAVE TO ACTUALLY EARN THAT INCREASE BECAUSE
THEY WILL HAVE TO DO THE WORK THAT THE LAID OFF
WORKERS WOULD HAVE DONE.....

NOW, ALL WORKING FOLKS KNOW THAT WHEN YOU GET AN
INCREASE IN PAY, YOU GET AN INCREASE IN TAXES TOO....
SO THE GOVERNMENT GIVES IT WITH ONE HAND, THEN
TAKES IT AWAY WITH THE OTHER....HOW NICE!...AND THOSE
GUYS WHO GOT LAID OFF ARE GETTING UNEMPLOYMENT
CHECKS, WHICH THE GOVERNMENT WILL RAISE YOUR TAXES
TO PAY FOR....HOW NICE! (THEY'RE GETTING PAID FOR NOT
WORKING, HMMM)

NOW, WHAT ABOUT THE FOLKS MAKING ABOVE THE MINIMUM
WAGE?? THEY'VE GOT KIDS, MORTGAGES/RENTS, CAR NOTES,
LIFE, HEALTH AND AUTO INSURANCE PREMIUMS...UTILITIES,
FOOD, CLOTHING, REPAIRS....AND THEY PAY FEDERAL, STATE,
LOCAL, PROPERTY AND SCHOOL TAXES TOO.....DO THOSE
MINIMUM WAGE FOLKS CARE ABOUT THEM?? NO, THEY
DON'T...IT'S CLASS WARFARE, DESIGNED BY YOUR FRIENDLY
NEIGHBORHOOD DEMOCRAT POLITICIANS....THEY ARE HELPING
YOU TURN AGAINST YOUR FELLOW CITIZEN.

WHAT ABOUT THE SINGLE MOM WORKING AT A BANK? SHE'S
MAKING 30 G'S PER WITH THREE KIDS. THAT 30 G'S IS KEEPING
HER FAMILY ALIVE, AFLOAT.....WOULD IT BE FAIR, WOULD IT
BE COMPASSIONATE TO TAKE FOOD OUT OF HER KIDS MOUTHS?

SO THEN THE BURDEN WOULD FALL ON THE SINGLE WORKERS
WITH NO DEPENDANTS....IS IT FAIR TO MAKE THAT WORKER
PAY (THROUGH HIS/HER TAXES) FOR THE FOOD, RENT,
HEALTH INSURANCE, ETC, OF SOME MINIMUM WAGE WORKER
 WITH FIVE KIDS?? RAISING THE MINIMUM WAGE WOULD ALSO
RAISE THE PRICES OF THE NECESSITIES OF THE MINIMUM
WAGE WORKER....SO BETWEEN THE INCREASE IN THEIR
PAYROLL TAXES AND THE INCREASE IN FOOD PRICES, ETC, WHAT
IS GAINED??

RAISING THE MINIMUM WAGE IS JUST A MIRAGE, A DECEIT...
A FEEL GOOD PUBLIC RELATIONS MOVE BY LIBERAL (DEM)
POLITICIANS WHO PREY UPON THE MISERY, FEARS AND ANGER
OF THEIR FAITHFUL, LOYAL, BUT MISGUIDED CONSTITUENTS.
